Step-by-Step Instructions for Dandelion Muffins
  1. Harvest dandelions by collecting about 1 cup of vibrant yellow dandelion flower petals from a clean area.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and gather your baking equipment.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and whisk in the milk, melted coconut oil, and honey until blended.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined, then fold in the dandelion petals.
  6. Prepare your muffin tin and pour the batter into each cup, filling them about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown; a toothpick inserted should come out clean.
  8. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
